Formula Used

Electricity Consumption Formula

The electricity consumption is calculated using the following formula:

Consumption (kWh) = (Wattage × Hours per day × Days in month) ÷ 1000

Where:

Wattage = Power of the appliance in watts
Hours per day = Number of hours the appliance is used each day
Days in month = Number of days in the billing month (typically 30 days)

The cost is calculated by multiplying the consumption by the current electricity rate in Tamil Nadu.

Assumptions

Key Assumptions

Standard billing month of 30 days
Current electricity rate in Tamil Nadu (as of latest available data)
Appliance wattage is accurate and consistent
Usage patterns remain consistent throughout the month

These assumptions provide a reasonable estimate, but actual consumption may vary based on individual usage patterns and electricity rates.

Worked Example

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the electricity consumption for a 100-watt light bulb used for 5 hours each day.

Consumption = (100 × 5 × 30) ÷ 1000 = 15 kWh

At a rate of ₹8 per kWh, the estimated cost would be ₹120.

This example shows how the calculator can help you understand your electricity usage and costs.
